We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements. PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS INTRODUCTION We design, build, sell and service high performance computer systems, commonly known as supercomputers, and provide professional services to support our emphasis on providing solutions to our customers. We have leading edge technology, multiple product platforms, approximately 840 employees, a substantial worldwide installed base of computers, major manufacturing and service capabilities and extensive global customer relationships. We believe that our current products and those under development represent the future of supercomputing. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington in December 1987. Our corporate headquarters offices are located at 411 First Avenue South, Suite 600, Seattle, Washington, 98104-2860, and our telephone number is (206) 701-2000. CRAY ACQUISITION On April 1, 2000, we acquired the operating assets of the Cray Research business unit from Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI"), and changed our corporate name from Tera Computer Company to Cray Inc. With that acquisition we became the leading company in the world dedicated solely to the development and sale of supercomputers. Prior to the acquisition, we had been developing for ten years one supercomputer product based on multithreaded architecture. We had sales to one customer, limited revenue, and approximately 125 employees. Through the acquisition we acquired about 775 employees located in over 20 countries, ongoing sales of supercomputer systems with several products in development, major manufacturing operations, an established service organization and substantial inventory. In particular, we acquired the Cray SV1 and T3E product lines and the code-named SV2 and other products under development, a service organization supporting Cray supercomputers installed in about 200 sites in the United States and overseas, integrated design and manufacturing capabilities, software products and related experience and expertise, approximately 775 employees, product and service inventory, real property located in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and the Cray brand name. Pursuant to a Technology Agreement, SGI assigned to us -------- Cray, Cray-1, UNICOS and UNICOS/mk are federally registered trademarks of Cray Inc., and Cray C90, Cray J90, Cray T90, Cray T3E, Cray SV1, Cray SV1ex, Cray SV2, Cray SX-6, Cray MTA, Cray MTA-2 and Cray MTX are trademarks of Cray Inc. Other trademarks used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are the property of their respective owners. 3 various patents and other intellectual property and licensed to us the rights to other patents and intellectual property. We paid SGI $15 million in cash upon closing, $35.3 million pursuant to a non-interest bearing note that we paid in full in December 2000 and 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. We assumed real property leases for other Cray offices and holiday and other benefit obligations for the personnel who transferred from SGI to us. In acquiring the service of the installed base of Cray supercomputers, we assumed responsibility for the cost of servicing the Cray T90 vector computers. Because certain components in the T90 systems sold by SGI have unusually high failure rates, the cost of servicing these computers exceeds the related service revenue. We are continuing to take action that commenced prior to our acquisition of the Cray Research operations to address this problem, which will not be resolved until all T90 systems are removed from service. We recorded an initial reserve of $46.3 million to provide for anticipated future losses on the T90 service contracts. We apply a portion of this reserve to offset service costs quarterly based on our T90 service activities during that quarter. As of December 31, 2001, this reserve was $14.5 million. As part of the acquisition we agreed with SGI that we would not utilize specified technology to develop successor products to the T3E product line. In addition, we agreed that for a period of the earlier of three years or until SGI was sold, we would not sell or otherwise transfer any or all of the Cray products, rights under the intellectual property transferred to us under the Technology Agreement, or the service and maintenance relationships with the installed base to Hewlett-Packard Company, Sun Microsystems, Inc., International Business Machines Corporation, Compaq Computer Corporation, NEC Corporation or Gores Technology Group. For these reasons, period to period comparisons that include periods prior to April 1, 2000, are not indicative of future results. Discussions that relate to periods prior to April 1, 2000, refer to our operations as Tera Computer Company and discussions that relate to periods after April 1, 2000, refer to our combined operations as Cray Inc. PRODUCT AND SERVICE OFFERINGS AND THE HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTER MARKET Since the pioneering Cray-1(R) system arrived in 1976, supercomputers -- defined simply as the most powerful class of computers at any time -- have contributed substantially to the advancement of knowledge and the quality of human life. Problems of major economic, scientific and strategic importance typically are addressed by supercomputers years before becoming tractable on less-capable systems. For scientific applications, the increased need for computing power has been driven by highly challenging problems that can be solved only through numerically intensive computation. For engineering applications, high performance computers boost productivity and decrease the time to market for companies and products in a broad range of industries. The U.S. government has recognized that the continued development of high performance computer systems, which typically sell for multiple millions of dollars each, is of critical importance to the economic, scientific and strategic competitiveness of the United States. In conjunction with some of the world's most creative scientific and engineering minds, these formidable tools already have made automobiles safer and more fuel-efficient; located new deposits of oil and gas; saved lives and property by predicting severe storms; created new materials and life-saving drugs; powered advances in electronics and visualization; safeguarded national security; and unraveled mysteries ranging from protein-folding mechanisms to the shape of the universe. Applications promising future competitive and scientific advantage create a demand for more supercomputer power -- 10 to 1,000 times greater than anything available today, according to users. Automotive companies are targeting increased passenger cabin comfort, improved safety and handling. Aerospace firms envision more-efficient planes and space vehicles. The petroleum industry wants to "see" subsurface phenomena in greater detail. Urban planners hope to ease traffic congestion. Genomic and proteonomic research for safer and faster drug development are high on the wish list in medicine. The sequencing of the human genome promises to open an era of burgeoning research and commercial enterprise in the life sciences. Our customized supercomputer products provide high bandwidth and other capabilities needed for exploiting new and existing market opportunities. Among supercomputer vendors, we offer the largest variety of products and 4 services in order to address the broadest range of customer requirements and market segments. A brief description of our products and professional services follows. Vector Supercomputer Systems. For certain important classes of scientific and industrial applications, vector supercomputer systems remain unequaled. Starting in 1976, Cray Research pioneered the use of vector systems in a variety of market sectors. Vector systems typically use a moderate number (one to 64) of custom processors, each of which is two to 100 times faster in practice than the fastest commercially available microprocessors at any time. Earlier, vector systems effectively were the only type of system available and therefore dominated the supercomputer market. In the past decade, supercomputers employing alternative designs ("architectures"), including the Cray T3E(TM) parallel system and other highly parallel systems, have emerged to capture substantial market-share. Today, increasingly powerful vector systems remain an important market factor and are typically reserved for the most demanding class of applications and workloads. Our vector systems include unique features, traditionally employed by classified government customers, that in preliminary tests have demonstrated substantial performance advantages over microprocessor-based systems for mainstream problem solving in the emerging bioinformatics market. The same unique features also are included in our Cray MTA-2(TM) systems. The Cray SV1ex(TM) system provides substantial enhancements to the predecessor Cray SV1(TM) product. The system's clock rate, at 500 megahertz, is among the fastest of any currently available supercomputer, vector or non-vector; and the Cray SV1ex system's cache-based memory, unique among vector supercomputers, significantly improves performance for problems that make good use of cache memory. The targeted selling focus for the SV1ex systems is 8 to 64 gigaflops (billions of calculations per second), with typical selling prices ranging from $1 million to $2 million. We expect to sell SV1ex systems primarily to existing customers as upgrades to older vector systems and to new customers engaged in bioinformatics research. In May 2001, our agreement with NEC Corporation to distribute and service NEC SX series vector supercomputers and their successors became effective. This agreement provides us with exclusive distribution and servicing rights in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and non-exclusive rights in the rest of the world. We currently market the NEC SX-6 system, rebranded as the Cray SX-6, to industrial, academic and governmental customers requiring intense computing power, very large high-performance memory and high I/O rates on a vector platform. These systems offer superior reliability in a balanced, commercial quality system. The targeted selling focus for the SX-6 supercomputers will be from 16 to 64 gigaflops, with expected selling prices ranging from $1.5 million to $3 million. Microprocessor-based Highly Parallel Systems. In recent years highly parallel supercomputer products have captured substantial market share by providing greater performance and price/performance on a range of less-challenging applications. Highly parallel supercomputers, often referred to as "clusters," typically link together tens, hundreds or thousands of standard microprocessors to act either concurrently on multiple tasks, or in concert on a single computationally-intensive task. In these systems, each processor typically is directly connected to its own private ("distributed" or "local") memory and the programmer must manage the movement of data among memory units. As a result, computer systems relying on this architecture can be difficult to program and are most suited for applications that can be partitioned easily into discrete tasks that do not need to communicate often with each other and do not require the high memory and interconnect system bandwidth of supercomputers such as the Cray SX-6 system or the forthcoming Cray SV2(TM) and Cray MTA-2 systems. The Cray T3E system, introduced in 1996 and able to employ up to 2,048 processors, is widely recognized as the first technically and commercially successful highly parallel system. The Cray T3E is among the world's fastest supercomputers for actual ("sustained") performance on real applications and was named "Supercomputer Product of the Year" for the year 2000 by the readers of Scientific Computing & Instrumentation magazine. In 2000 and 2001 we sold and installed T3E systems for approximately $18.5 million and $21 million, respectively, and we anticipate a T3E system sale of approximately $15 million in 2002. T3E systems utilize some components no longer possible to obtain, and will be succeeded for the most challenging classes of problems by the Cray SV2 system and for less-challenging problems by Cray cluster solutions. In February 2002 we announced plans to market high-performance cluster solutions and services worldwide using PowerEdge servers obtained from Dell Computer Corporation. We will sell and provide direct customer support for high performance computer solutions that combine scalable, cost-effective Dell PowerEdge servers and storage, open-source Linux based operating software operating systems and our value-added high performance computer technologies and services. In addition to installation, maintenance and support services, we offer site 5 planning, system integration and training, and hardware and software customization services through our Professional Services organization. Target markets are enterprises seeking production quality high-performance computing at attractive pricing. We expect primarily to sell cluster systems combined with professional and maintenance services, with expected prices ranging from $500,000 to $2.5 million. Cray SV2 System (code named). We are currently developing the revolutionary code-named Cray SV2 system, which incorporates in its design both vector processing capabilities from the long line of Cray Research vector systems and highly parallel capabilities analogous to those of our T3E system. The SV2 is an "extreme performance" supercomputer aimed at the high end of the vector processing market and the high end of the market for highly parallel systems. The SV2 has been under development since 1997, and first customer ship is scheduled for the second half of 2002. Our expected selling focus for the SV2 is 200 gigaflops to multiple tens of teraflops (trillions of calculations per second). The U.S. government is providing substantial funding support for the development of the SV2 system and conducts rigorous progress reviews on a quarterly basis. Our SV2 development has satisfactorily completed all quarterly reviews to date. Multithreading Systems. We were formed originally to pursue a significant breakthrough in high-performance computing by developing a scalable uniform shared memory, latency tolerant system that utilizes a multithreaded architecture and a high bandwidth interconnection system. In 2000 and 2001 we were heavily engaged in reimplementing the MTA(TM) system from gallium arsenide technology to more-mainstream CMOS (complementary metal-oxide silicon) technology. The first MTA-2 system was delivered in December 2001 to the Electronic Navigation Research Institute in Japan. In February 2002, we delivered a 16-processor MTA-2 system to the Naval Research Laboratory, and plan to increase that system to 40 processors in April 2002. The Naval Research Laboratory plans to make this system available for investigative purposes to its own researchers and to the Department of Defense national research community. With the MTA-2 system, we are targeting customers in the defense community, in scientific research -- including burgeoning new life sciences fields such as bioinformatics, and in advanced imaging. The MTA-2 is aimed at new applications not well served by vector or highly parallel systems, such as dynamically adaptive meshes, data sorting and problems benefiting from advanced scalability, large uniform shared memory and easier parallel programming. The MTA-2 has shown a significant performance advantage, for example, on so-called Monte Carlo codes used in a wide range of sectors, from nuclear physics to medicine to finance. Professional Services. In December 2001, we formed a Professional Services organization to support our emphasis on providing solutions rather than just computer systems to our customers. Our professional services team provides consulting, integration, custom hardware and software engineering, advanced computer training, site engineering, data center operation and time-share computing services. These professional services leverage our reputation and skills for services and industry technical knowledge. We offer these services into all high-performance computing markets, both in connection with and independent of product sales. SOFTWARE We offer UNIX-based operating systems, compiler software and diagnostic tools. We currently support multiple operating systems, including UNICOS/mk(R) in the T3E, UNICOS(R) in the SV1ex and earlier vector processing systems and a UNIX-based system called Cray MTX(TM) for the Cray MTA-2 system. The SV2 operating system will be UNIX-based with common UNICOS extensions. The Cray SX-6 system and successors use NEC's SUPER-UX(TM) operating system, also based on UNIX. We continue to design and build highly optimizing programming environments and performance management diagnostic software products that allow our customers to obtain maximum benefit from our systems. In addition to supporting third-party applications, we also research advanced algorithms and other approaches to improving application performance. We also purchase or license software technologies from third parties when necessary to provide appropriate support to our customers, while focusing on our own resources where we add the highest value. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT Our extensive worldwide maintenance and support systems provide us with a competitive advantage. Our employees providing these services include field service engineers, product and applications specialists and product support engineers, usually based at customer sites and supported by a central support services group located in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. On December 31, 2001, we had 109 support personnel in the field in the U.S., another 6 87 support personnel in other countries and 43 employees providing central support services, including extensive data center operations. In 2000 and 2001 we have been performing maintenance services under existing SGI maintenance contracts as a sub-contractor to SGI; we now have been successful in having almost all of these contracts assigned to us. Support services are provided under separate maintenance contracts with our customers. These contracts generally provide for support services on an annual basis, although some cover multiple years. While most customers pay for support monthly, others pay on a quarterly or annual basis. SALES We primarily sell our system products through our direct sales force that operates throughout the United States and in all significant international markets. We serve smaller international markets through representatives and distributors. We had 28 sales staff, including sales representatives, sales managers, pre-sale analysts and administrative personnel located in the United States and 45 sales staff located internationally, as of year-end 2001. No single end-user customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenue for each of the last three years, but agencies of the United States government, both directly and indirectly through system integrators and other resellers, accounted for approximately 85% of our 2001 revenue and 54% of our 2000 revenue. Information with respect to our international operations and export sales is set forth in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. MARKETING Our marketing staff has a strategic focus on issue areas and those solutions that will facilitate our customers' success in solving their most challenging scientific and engineering problems. On December 31, 2001, we had 29 employees in our marketing group, all in the United States. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT We are committed to leadership in the high performance computer market. Our leadership depends on successful development and introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products. Prior to April 2000, our primary research and development activity was the design of the hardware components and software required for our MTA system. Since April 2000, we have continued development of the MTA-2 system, enhancements to the Cray T3E system and to the Cray SV1 series that led to the SV1ex system, and the SV2 system. In 2002 the SV2 system and its successors will consume a major portion of our research and development expenditures. We expect that our cluster system offerings will involve software development with minimal hardware engineering, and we do not anticipate any development expenditures on the Cray SX-6 and successor SX systems. Our research and development expenses, net of governmental funding, were $15.2 million in 1999, $48.4 million in 2000 and $53.9 million in 2001. These amounts represent 720%, 41% and 40%, respectively, of total revenue. We received government funding of $72,000 in 1999, $9.3 million in 2000 and $12.6 million in 2001. While we will be required to continue to devote a substantial portion of our resources to research and development activities, our goal is to have research and development expenses represent approximately 15-18% of revenue. We expect to achieve this goal primarily by increasing revenue while maintaining tight control of research and development expenditures and seeking additional government support for our research and development activities. MANUFACTURING While we design many of the hardware components for all of our products, we subcontract the manufacture of these components, including integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, flex circuits, memory modules, machined enclosures and support structures, cooling systems, high performance cables and other items to third-party suppliers. Our strategy is to avoid the large capital commitment and overhead associated with establishing full-scale manufacturing facilities and to maintain the flexibility to adopt new technologies as they become available without the risk of equipment obsolescence. We perform final system integration and testing, and design and maintain our system software internally. 7 Our manufacturing facilities are located in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. We maintain a development and support capability in Seattle, Washington. At December 31, 2001, we had 128 full-time employees in manufacturing, with 106 located in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Our systems incorporate components that are available from one or limited sources. Key components that are sole-sourced include our integrated circuits and processors, interconnect systems and memory products. We obtain integrated circuits for our vector and SV2 systems from IBM and for the MTA-2 system from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation; IBM also provides packaging for our vector and SV2 systems while Kyocera America, Inc., provides packaging for our MTA-2 system; we obtain processors for our T3E system from Compaq Computer; we obtain custom interconnect components for our T3E and MTA-2 systems from InterCon Systems, Inc., and we obtain input/output systems for our MTA-2 and SV2 systems from Sun Microsystems, Inc. We obtain custom memory products for our vector, MTA-2 and T3E systems from Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. We acquire power modules and spray cap cooling systems for the SV2 from SAE Power Incorporated and Parker Hannifin Corporation, respectively. We use Celestica, Inc., to assemble our vector, SV2 and T3E systems and for repair of components for these systems. Our purchases from these vendors are primarily through purchase orders. We have chosen to deal with sole sources in these cases because of specific technologies, economic advantages and other factors. We also have sole or limited sources for less critical components, such as peripherals, power supplies, cooling and chassis. Reliance on single or limited source vendors involves several risks, including the possibility of shortages of key components, long lead times, reduced control over delivery schedules and changes in direction by vendors. COMPETITION The high performance computer market is intensely competitive. The barriers to entry are high, as is the cost of remaining competitive. Our competitors can be divided into two general categories: established companies that are well-known in the high performance computer market and new entrants capitalizing on developments in architecture or techniques to increase computer performance through linking together clusters or networks of microprocessor based systems -- servers, workstations or personal computers. Participants in the high performance computer market include IBM and NEC Corporation. To date, Japanese suppliers have been largely unsuccessful in the U.S. high performance computer market but have been enjoying success in foreign markets. We have exclusive rights to market NEC vector processing supercomputers in North America, subject to certain volume requirements; we have non-exclusive rights to market these computers elsewhere, and we are competing with NEC in the rest of the world. We compete by offering systems with superior performance, coupled with our excellent post-sale service capabilities and established customer relationships. A number of companies, including IBM, Silicon Graphics, Inc., Sun Microsystems, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Corporation and Compaq Computer Corporation, offer clusters or other highly parallel systems for the high performance market. While our T3E system competes primarily on performance, we expect that our cluster offerings will compete on price/performance, increasingly differentiated software capabilities and superior pre-sales and post-sales services. In the provision of professional services, we compete with other high performance computer companies, such as IBM, Compaq Computer and Silicon Graphics, when the professional services opportunity relates to a supercomputer sale. In circumstances not related to a product sale, we compete with competitors such as IBM Global Services, Science Applications International Corporation and various smaller consulting firms. We compete primarily based on the technical expertise of our employees. Each of our competitors named above has substantially greater engineering, manufacturing, marketing and financial resources than we do. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We attempt to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary rights through formal agreements with our employees, customers, suppliers and consultants, and through patent protection. Although we intend to protect our rights vigorously, there can be no assurance that our contractual and other security arrangements will be successful. 8 There can be no assurance that such arrangements will not be terminated or that we will be able to enter into similar arrangements on favorable terms if required in the future. In addition, if such agreements were breached, there can be no assurance that we would have adequate remedies for any breach. Although we have not been a party to any material intellectual property litigation, third parties may assert proprietary rights claims covering certain of our products and technologies. We have a number of patents relating to our hardware and software systems. We license certain patents and other intellectual property from SGI as part of our acquisition of the Cray Research operations. These licenses contain restrictions on use of the underlying technology, generally limiting the use to historic Cray products, vector processor computers and the Cray SV2 systems. Our general policy is to seek patent protection for those inventions and improvements likely to be incorporated into our products and services or to give us a competitive advantage. While we believe our patents and applications have value, no single patent is in itself essential to us as a whole or to any of our key products. Any of our proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented and may not provide significant competitive advantage. There can be no assurance that the steps we take will be adequate to protect or prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce patents we obtain, and to protect copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and know-how we own. Such litigation, if necessary, could result in substantial expense to us and a diversion of our efforts. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2001, we employed 842 employees (compared to 886 at the end of 2000) on a full-time basis, of whom 300 were in development and engineering, 128 were in manufacturing, 73 were in sales, 29 were in marketing, 270 were in field service and 42 were in administration. We also employed 51 individuals on a part-time or temporary basis or as interns. We have no collective bargaining agreement with our employees. We have never experienced a work stoppage and believe that our employee relations are excellent. FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS The following factors should be considered in evaluating our business, operations and prospects and may affect our future results and financial condition. OUR INABILITY TO OVERCOME THE TECHNICAL CHALLENGES OF COMPLETING THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR SYSTEMS COULD CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL. We expect that our success in 2002 and following years will depend upon completing the development of the MTA-2 and the SV2 systems. These development efforts are lengthy and technically challenging processes, and require a significant investment of capital, engineering and other resources. Delays in completing the design of the hardware components or software of these systems or in integrating the full systems would make it difficult for us to develop and market these systems. We are dependent on our vendors to manufacture components for our systems, and few companies can meet our design requirements. If our vendors are unable to manufacture our components to our design specifications on a timely basis, the completion of our products will be delayed. During the development process we have had, and in the future we may have, to redesign components because of previously unforeseen design flaws. We also may find flaws in our system software which require correction. Redesign work may be costly and cause delays in the development of these systems, and could make it more difficult for these systems to be successful as commercial products. LACK OF CUSTOMER ORDERS FOR OUR EXISTING PRODUCTS AND OUR INABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS AT EXPECTED PRICES WOULD LIMIT OUR REVENUE AND OUR ABILITY TO BE PROFITABLE. We will depend on sales of our current products - the Cray SV1ex series, T3E systems, Cray SX-6 and cluster systems - for significant product revenue in 2002. To obtain these sales, we need to assure our customers of product performance and cost effectiveness and overcome market difficulties applicable to each system. Most of our potential customers already own or lease very high-performance computer systems. Some of our competitors may offer trade-in allowances or substantial discounts to potential customers, and we may not be able to match these sales incentives. We may be required to provide discounts to make sales or to provide lease financing for our products, which would result in a deferral of our receipt of cash for these systems. These developments would limit our revenue and resources and would reduce our ability to be profitable. 9 LACK OF SALES OF THE SX-6 SYSTEM COULD DECREASE OUR REVENUE AND DELAY PROFITABILITY. Cray SX-6 systems from Japan have just become available for delivery in North America, which has delayed our sales efforts. These sales would be adversely affected if NEC does not develop a follow-on product to the SX-6. Supercomputers from Japan have not been available for sale in the United States since 1997, and there may be reluctance among traditional customers, such as governmental agencies and research organizations and industrial users, to purchase supercomputers from non-U.S. sources. In addition, we must appropriately place the SX-6 system within our own product line to avoid customer and market confusion. If we do not obtain certain volumes of sales of Cray SX-6 systems through March 2003, we may lose our North American exclusivity for this product. Competing successfully with NEC with respect to sales of the SX-6 system outside of North America is difficult. WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN CONTRACTING TO PROVIDE OUR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, WHICH WOULD DECREASE REVENUE AND AFFECT PROFITABILITY. Our entry into the professional services market is new. We will be using our employees with subject matter expertise, led by experienced professional service leaders we have recently hired, to staff professional services projects on a project-by-project and customer-focused basis. We need to refine our approach and develop methodologies that change the way we have conducted business in the past. We compete with companies with larger staffs and more experience in the marketing and provision of professional services. For these reasons our entry into the professional services market may not be successful. LACK OF SALES OF CLUSTER SYSTEMS WOULD REDUCE OUR REVENUE AND DELAY PROFITABILITY. We expect that sales of cluster systems will begin in the second half of 2002. There are many competitive cluster solutions and pressure on margins is severe. We expect to compete based on increasingly differentiated software, pre-sales integration services, our reputation for excellent post-sales maintenance and support services and our professional services assisting cluster customers finding solutions for their problems. If we cannot develop commercially acceptable software solutions or our services are not sufficiently well-received, then we will have difficulty selling cluster solutions at prices that generate appropriate margins. GENERAL ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS COULD DECREASE OUR REVENUE, INCREASE OUR NEED FOR CASH AND DELAY PROFITABILITY. While most of our business is related to the government sector, which is relatively immune to short-term economic cycles, a slow-down in the overall U.S. and global economy and resultant decreases in capital expenditures has affected sales to our industrial customers and may continue to do so. Cancellations or delays in purchases would decrease our revenue, increase our need for working capital and delay profitability. LACK OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEMS WOULD INCREASE OUR CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND DECREASE OUR ABILITY TO CONDUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. We have targeted U.S. and foreign government agencies and research laboratories as important sales prospects for all of our products. A few of these agencies fund a portion of our development efforts. The U.S. government historically has facilitated the development of, and has constituted a market for, new and enhanced very high-performance computer systems. Congressional action with respect to the 2002 budget was delayed due to the events of September 11, 2001. The failure of U.S. and foreign government agencies to continue to fund these development efforts, due to lack of funding, change of priorities or for any other reason, or continued delays in funding, would cause us to increase our need for capital and reduce our research and development expenditures. PROPOSALS AND PURCHASES BASED ON THEORETICAL PEAK PERFORMANCE REDUCE OUR ABILITY TO MARKET OUR SYSTEMS. Our high-performance systems are designed to provide high actual sustained performance on difficult computational problems. Many of our competitors offer systems with higher theoretical peak performance numbers, although their actual sustained performance frequently is a small fraction of their theoretical peak performance. Nevertheless, many requests for proposals, primarily from governmental agencies in the U.S. and elsewhere, have criteria based on theoretical peak performance. Until these criteria are changed, we are foreclosed from bidding or proposing our systems on such proposals, which will limit our revenue potential. IF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PURCHASES FEWER SUPERCOMPUTERS, OUR REVENUE WOULD BE REDUCED. Historically, sales to the U.S. government have been a significant market for supercomputers. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, approximately 85% of our revenue was derived from sales to various agencies and departments of the U.S. government. Sales to the U.S. government may be affected by factors outside 10 our control, such as changes in procurement policies and budget considerations. If the U.S. government were to stop or reduce its use and purchases of supercomputers, our revenue would be reduced. OUR RELIANCE ON THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS POSES SIGNIFICANT RISKS TO OUR BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS. We subcontract the manufacture of substantially all of our hardware components for all of our products, including integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, flex circuits and power supplies, on a sole or limited source basis to third-party suppliers. We also use a contract manufacturer to assemble our SV1ex and T3E components, and plan to do so for our MTA-2 and SV-2 systems also. We are exposed to substantial risks because of our reliance on these and other limited or sole source suppliers. For example: - if a reduction or interruption of supply of our components occurred, it could take us a considerable period of time to identify and qualify alternative suppliers to redesign our products as necessary and to begin manufacture of the redesigned components; - if we were ever unable to locate a supplier for a component, we would be unable to assemble and deliver our products; - one or more suppliers may make strategic changes in their product lines, which may result in the delay or suspension of manufacture of our components or systems; and - some of our key suppliers are small companies with limited financial and other resources, and consequently may be more likely to experience financial difficulties than larger, well-established companies. We have experienced delays in obtaining circuit boards, integrated circuits and flex circuits on a timely basis from our suppliers, which have resulted in delays in the development of our products. OUR QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE MAY VARY SIGNIFICANTLY AND COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO BE VOLATILE. One or a few system sales may account for a substantial percentage of our quarterly and annual revenue. This is due to the high average sales price of our products, particularly the Cray T3E system, and the expected high average sales prices for our MTA-2, SX-6 and SV2 systems, and the timing of purchase orders and product acceptances. Because a number of our prospective customers receive funding from the U.S. or foreign governments, the timing of orders from such customers may be subject to the appropriation and funding schedules of the relevant government agencies. The timing of orders and shipments also could be affected by other events outside our control, such as: - changes in levels of customer capital spending; - the introduction or announcement of competitive products; - the availability of components; - timing of the receipt of necessary export licenses; or - currency fluctuations and international conflicts or economic crises. Because of these factors, revenue, net income or loss and cash flow are likely to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. ADDITIONAL FINANCINGS MAY BE DILUTIVE TO EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS. Over the next twelve months our significant cash requirements relate to operational expenses, primarily for personnel, inventory and third-party engineering services, and acquisition of capital goods. We expect to have positive cash flow over the next twelve months from our anticipated product sales, professional services, maintenance services and government funding of research and development expenses coupled with limitations on operating expenses and capital expenditures. At any time, given the high average selling price of our products, our cash position is impacted by the timing of product sales, receipt of prepaid maintenance and receipt of government funding of research and development activities. Delays in the development of either the MTA-2 or SV2 system may require additional capital earlier than planned. While we believe our cash resources will be adequate for the next twelve months, we may need to raise additional equity and/or debt capital if we experience lower than anticipated product sales due to delays in product availability, general economic conditions and/or failure to receive sufficient governmental support for our products and research activities. In addition, we may raise additional funds to enhance our working capital position. Financings may not be available to us when needed or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms and may be dilutive to our shareholders. OUR UNCERTAIN PROSPECTS FOR EARNINGS COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE. While we have had a substantial increase in revenue with the acquisition of the business operations of 11 Cray Research and have had two profitable quarters since that acquisition, whether we will achieve earnings on a consistent basis will depend on a number of factors, including: - our ability to market and sell the SV1ex, T3E, SX-6 and cluster systems, engage professional services clients and complete the development of the MTA-2 and SV2 systems; - the level of revenue in any given period; - the cost of servicing the T90 installed base; - the terms and conditions of sale or lease for our products; and - our expense levels, particularly for research and development and manufacturing and service costs. FAILURE TO OBTAIN RENEWAL OF SERVICE CONTRACTS WILL REDUCE OUR REVENUE AND EARNINGS. High-performance computer systems are typically sold with maintenance service contracts. These contracts generally are for annual periods, although some are for multi-year periods. In 2000 and 2001 we have been performing maintenance services under existing SGI maintenance contracts as a subcontractor to SGI; we now have been successful in having almost all of these contracts assigned to us. As these contracts expire, however, we need to sell new maintenance service contracts to these customers. Revenue from service contracts have declined from approximately $125 million in 1999 to approximately $83 million in 2001 and are expected to further decline until we develop, sell and install new products. If customers do not renew their maintenance service contracts with us, our revenue and earnings will be reduced. THE ABSENCE OF THIRD-PARTY APPLICATION SOFTWARE COULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO SELL OUR SYSTEMS TO COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS. To make sales in the automotive, aerospace, chemistry and other engineering and commercial markets, we must be able to attract independent software vendors to port their software application programs so that they will run on our systems. The relatively low volume of supercomputer sales makes it difficult for us to attract these vendors. We also modify and rewrite third-party software applications to run on our systems and so facilitate the expansion of our potential markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to induce independent software vendors to rewrite their applications, or that we will successfully rewrite third-party applications for use on our systems. FAILURE TO OBTAIN CREDIT FACILITIES MAY RESTRICT OUR OPERATIONS. While we have obtained a $15 million secured credit facility based on domestic accounts receivables and maintenance revenue, we are seeking additional credit facilities of up to approximately $4 million, such as bank lines of credit, vendor credit and capitalized equipment lease lines. The absence of a consistent record of revenue and earnings makes obtaining such facilities more difficult; if we obtain such facilities, they may have high interest rates, contain restrictions on our operations and require security. Failure to obtain such credit facilities may limit our planned operations and our ability to acquire needed infrastructure and other capital items would reduce or eliminate our cash reserves and increase our need for capital. THE COST OF SERVICE OF THE T90 INSTALLED BASE WILL REDUCE OUR EARNINGS. Some of the components in the T90 vector computers sold by SGI before our acquisition of the operations of Cray Research have an unusually high failure rate. The cost of servicing the T90 computers exceeds the related service revenue. We are continuing to take action that commenced before the acquisition to address this problem, and have recorded a warranty reserve, with a balance of $14.5 million as of December 31, 2001, to provide for anticipated future losses on the T90 maintenance service contracts. IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE, OUR PRODUCTS WILL NOT BE COMPETITIVE. Our market is characterized by rapidly changing technology, accelerated product obsolescence and continuously evolving industry standards. Our success will depend upon our ability to sell our current products, to complete development of the MTA-2 and the SV2 systems and to develop successor systems in the future. We will need to introduce new products and features in a timely manner to meet evolving customer requirements. We may not succeed in these efforts. Even if we succeed, products or technologies developed by others may render our products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete. If we incur delays in developing our products or if such products do not gain broad market acceptance or become obsolete, our ability to develop and market our products will be reduced. IF WE CANNOT ATTRACT, RETAIN AND MOTIVATE KEY PERSONNEL, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT EFFECTIVELY OUR BUSINESS PLAN. Our success also depends in large part upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled management, technical and marketing and sales personnel. 12 Competition for highly skilled management, technical, marketing and sales personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. We have no employment contracts with any of our employees. A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF OUR SHARES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE AND COULD DEPRESS MARKET PRICES OF OUR STOCK AND HINDER OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING. Sale of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in the public market or the prospect of sales could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of December 31, 2001, we had outstanding: - 42,217,859 shares of common stock; - 3,125,000 shares of Series A preferred stock convertible into 3,125,000 shares of common stock; - warrants to purchase 15,178,198 shares of common stock; - debentures convertible into an indeterminable number of shares of common stock (a minimum of 3,957,447 shares); and - stock options to purchase an aggregate of 10,990,772 shares of common stock, of which 4,936,938 options were then exercisable. Almost all of our outstanding shares of common stock may be sold without substantial restrictions. All of the shares purchased under the warrants and exercisable options are available for sale in the public market, subject in some cases to volume and other limitations. The shares of common stock underlying the Series A preferred stock are not available for public sale until May 2003. Sales in the public market of substantial amounts of our common stock, including sales of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants, debentures and options, could depress prevailing market prices for the common stock. Even the perception that sales could occur may impact market prices. The existence of outstanding convertible debentures, warrants and options may prove to be a hindrance to our future equity financings. Further, the holders of the warrants and options may exercise them at a time when we would otherwise be able to obtain additional equity capital on terms more favorable to us. Such factors could impair our ability to meet our capital needs. THE CONVERSION OF THE DEBENTURES AND THE EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS MAY SUBSTANTIALLY DILUTE OUR COMMON SHAREHOLDERS. In November 2001, we issued 5% convertible subordinated debentures in the aggregate original principal amount of $9,300,000, convertible into shares of our common stock as described below, and common stock purchase warrants for an aggregate of 367,590 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $4.4275 per share, exercisable until November 6, 2004. The holders of the debentures can choose to convert all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding into shares of our common stock at any time before the maturity date of November 6, 2004. The debentures are convertible into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.35 per share from the date of issuance until maturity. In addition, during each three-month period beginning on February 6, 2002, each holder may convert on a cumulative basis up to 25% of the original principal amount of each holder's debenture at a floating conversion price. The floating conversion price is equal to 94% of the average of the 7 lowest daily volume weighted average prices during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date upon which the debenture is converted. The following table outlines the number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon conversion in full of the debentures at several hypothetical conversion prices. The table also sets forth the total number of shares the investors would beneficially own at such hypothetical adjustment prices, and assuming exercise in full of the warrants, and the percentage that such shares would constitute of our resulting outstanding common stock, assuming the investors had not purchased or sold any of our securities. During the period from January 1, 2001, through March 28, 2002, the closing price of our common stock has ranged from a low of $1.53 to a high of $3.45 per share, while in 2000, the closing prices ranged from a low of $1.125 to a high of $11.50 per share. 13

---------- (1) Assumes conversion in full of all debentures at the hypothetical conversion price set forth above. Assumes interest is paid in cash and not in shares of common stock. (2) Based on 45,127,474 shares of common stock outstanding on March 28, 2002, plus the shares issuable to the investors under the debentures and the warrants shown above. (3) At floating conversion prices above $2.35 per share, the investors would convert at the fixed conversion price of $2.35 per share. The conversion prices of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants could be lower than the trading price of our common stock from time to time. The debentures are convertible into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.35 per share from the date of issuance until maturity, and a floating conversion price as described earlier. The floating conversion price generally ensures that the debentures can be converted at a discount from the market price of our common stock at the time of conversion. For that reason, we expect the investors ultimately to convert the entire principal amount of the debentures and to resell the common stock issued to them. The potential or actual issuance of shares under the debentures and upon exercise of the warrants could have a substantial dilutive impact on the holders of our common stock. THE SALES OF MATERIAL AMOUNTS OF OUR COMMON STOCK UPON CONVERSION OF THE DEBENTURES, OR THE PROSPECT OF SUCH SALES, COULD REDUCE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND ENCOURAGE SHORT SALES. Our common stock price may decrease if the holders of the debentures elect to convert and resell their shares of common stock. In particular, as the price of our common stock decreases, if the holders of the debentures elect to convert, we will be required to issue more shares of our common stock, based on the floating conversion price, for any given dollar amount invested by the holders of the debentures. See the table above under "The Conversion of the Debentures and the Exercise of the Warrants May Substantially Dilute Our Common Shareholders." Any future issuance of a significant number of common shares, or any future sales by the investors of a significant number of common shares, or the prospect of such issuances or sales, could reduce the market price of our common stock. This may encourage short sales by third parties, which could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN FUTURE FINANCING MAY BE HINDERED BY THE UNCERTAIN AND POTENTIALLY SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE UNDER THE DEBENTURES. The shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures are linked to a percentage discount to the market price of our common stock at the time of the conversion. We cannot predict the number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion. The lower the price of our common stock at the time of conversion, the more shares of common stock that we will be required to issue upon conversion, which will further dilute holders of our other securities. See the table above under "The Conversion of the Debentures and the Exercise of the Warrants May Substantially Dilute Our Common Shareholders." In addition, any financing transactions prior to May 6, 2002, require the consent of the holders of a majority of the debentures then outstanding. These provisions may hinder our ability to obtain additional financing. 14 OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE. The trading price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to: - changes in analysts' estimates; - our future capital raising activities; - announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors; and - general conditions in our industry. The stock market has been and is subject to price and volume fluctuations that particularly affect the market prices for small capitalization, high technology companies like ourselves. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY IN THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTER MARKET, OUR REVENUE WILL DECLINE. The performance of our products may not be competitive with the computer systems offered by our competitors, and we may not compete successfully over time against new entrants or innovative competitors at the lower end of the market. Periodic announcements by our competitors of new high-performance computer systems and price adjustments may reduce customer demand for our products. Our competitors are established companies that are well known in the high-performance computer market, including IBM, Sun Microsystems, Compaq Computer, Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Graphics, and NEC Corporation (outside of North America). Each of these competitors has broader product lines and substantially greater research, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and financial resources than we do. We also compete with new entrants capitalizing on developments in parallel processing and increased computer performance through networking and clustering systems. Currently, these products are limited in applicability and scalability and can be difficult to program. A breakthrough in architecture or software technology could make parallel systems more attractive to potential customers. Such a breakthrough would impair our ability to sell our products and reduce our revenue. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND RIGHTS ADEQUATELY. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trade secret protection, non-disclosure agreements and licensing arrangements to establish, protect and enforce our proprietary information and rights. We have a number of patents and have additional applications pending. There can be no assurance, however, that patents will be issued from the pending applications or that any issued patents will protect adequately those aspects of our technology to which such patents will relate. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, we cannot be certain that we will succeed in doing so or that our competitors will not independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. At any time, third parties may assert intellectual property claims against us. Such claims, if proved, could require us to pay substantial damages or redesign our existing products. Even meritless claims would require management attention and would cause us to incur significant expense to defend. The laws of some countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent or in the same manner as do the laws of the United States. Although we continue to implement protective measures and intend to defend our proprietary rights vigorously, these efforts may not be successful. OUR ABILITY TO BUILD SOME PRODUCTS IS LIMITED BY OUR AGREEMENT WITH SILICON GRAPHICS, WHICH MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE WITH SILICON GRAPHICS AND OTHER COMPANIES. The technology agreement through which we acquired and licensed patent, know-how and other intellectual property rights from Silicon Graphics contains restrictions on our ability to develop some products, including specified successors to the T3E system, and restrictions on the use of other technology, such as SGI's IRIX operating system to the SV2. IT MAY BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL OUR STOCK IN THE PUBLIC MARKET. Our common stock is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market. To keep our listing on this market, Cray must meet Nasdaq's listing maintenance standards. If the bid price of our common stock falls below $1.00 for an extended period, or we are unable to continue to meet Nasdaq's listing maintenance standards for any other reason, our common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market. If our common stock were delisted, we likely would seek to list the common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the American Stock Exchange or on a regional stock exchange. Listing on such other market or exchange could reduce the liquidity for our common stock. If our common stock were not listed on the SmallCap Market or an exchange, trading of our common stock would be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities or directly through market makers in our common stock. If our common stock were to trade in the over-the-counter market, an investor would find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations for the price of, the 15 common stock. A delisting from the Nasdaq National Market and failure to obtain listing on such other market or exchange would subject our securities to so-called penny stock rules that impose additional sales practice and market-making requirements on broker-dealers who sell or make a market in such securities. Consequently, removal from the Nasdaq National Market and failure to obtain listing on another market or exchange could affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell or make a market in our common stock and the ability of purchasers of our common stock to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, when the market price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, we become subject to penny stock rules even if our common stock is still listed on the Nasdaq National Market. While the penny stock rules should not affect the quotation of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market, these rules may further limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of investors to sell our common stock in the secondary market. U.S. EXPORT CONTROLS COULD HINDER OUR ABILITY TO MAKE SALES TO FOREIGN CUSTOMERS AND OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS. The U.S. government regulates the export of high-performance computer systems such as our products. Occasionally we have experienced delays in receiving appropriate approvals necessary for certain sales, which has delayed the shipment of our products. Delay or denial in the granting of any required licenses could make it more difficult to make sales to foreign customers, eliminating an important source of potential revenue. PROVISIONS IN OUR AGREEMENT WITH SILICON GRAPHICS MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR SPECIFIED COMPANIES TO ACQUIRE US. The terms of our purchase of the assets of Cray Research contain provisions restricting our ability to transfer the assets of Cray Research. Sales of these assets to Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, IBM, Compaq Computer, NEC or Gores Technology Group, or their affiliates, are prohibited until the earlier of March 31, 2003, or if Silicon Graphics were sold. PROVISIONS OF OUR ARTICLES AND BYLAWS COULD MAKE A PROPOSED ACQUISITION THAT IS NOT APPROVED BY OUR MANAGEMENT MORE DIFFICULT. Provisions of our restated articles of incorporation and restated bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock. For example, our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide for: - a staggered board of directors, so that only two or three of eight directors are elected each year; - removal of a director only in limited circumstances and only upon the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote to elect directors; - the issuance of preferred stock, without shareholder approval, with rights senior to those of the common stock; - no cumulative voting of shares; - calling a special meeting of the shareholders only upon demand by the holders of not less than 30% of the shares entitled to vote at such a meeting; - amendments to our restated articles of incorporation require the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, unless the amendment was approved by a majority of our continuing directors, who are defined as directors who have either served as a director since August 31, 1995 or were nominated to be a director by the continuing directors; - special voting requirements for mergers and other business combinations, unless the proposed transaction was approved by a majority of continuing directors; - special procedures must be followed to bring matters before our shareholders at our annual shareholders' meeting; and - special procedures must be followed in order for nominating members for election to our board of directors. WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE DECLARING ANY DIVIDENDS. We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and we intend to continue our policy of retaining any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. 16 ITEM 2.

We currently anticipate that we will retain all available funds for use in our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, our credit facilities restrict our ability to pay cash dividends. The quarterly high, low and closing sales prices of our common stock for the periods indicated are as follows:
2000 2001 --------------------------- --------------------------- HIGH LOW CLOSE HIGH LOW CLOSE ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- First Quarter ...... 11.50 4.13 6.44 2.94 1.59 1.84 Second Quarter ..... 6.88 3.00 3.44 2.71 1.53 2.38 Third Quarter ...... 7.63 3.28 4.67 3.45 1.71 1.96 Fourth Quarter ..... 4.50 1.13 1.50 2.91 1.71 1.87
On March 28, 2002, the closing sales price for the common stock was $2.29. Unregistered Private Sales of Securities In November 2001, we sold to six accredited investors (i) 5% convertible subordinated debentures in the aggregate original principal amount of $9,300,000, convertible into shares of our common stock as described below, and (ii) common stock purchase warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 367,590 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $4.4275 per share, exercisable until November 6, 2004. The placement closed in two tranches, on November 6 and 15, 2001. The six investors were Riverview Group, LLC, Omicron Partners, LP, Laterman & Co., Forevergreen Partners, Clarion Capital Corporation and The Morton A. Cohen Revocable Living Trust. We received gross proceeds of $9,300,000 in exchange for the issuance of the debentures and the warrants. After payment of the finder's fee and other expenses of the offering, the net proceeds of the offering were approximately $8,550,000. No underwriters were involved in this private placement. The Convertible Subordinated Debentures. The debentures bear interest at the rate of 5% per year, payable semi-annually commencing May 6, 2002. We can elect to pay interest in cash or in shares of our common stock. The debentures mature on November 6, 2004. The holders of the debentures can choose to convert all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding into shares of our common stock at any time before the maturity date of November 6, 2004. The debentures are convertible into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.35 per share from the date of issuance until maturity. In addition, during each three-month period beginning on February 6, 2002, each holder may convert on a cumulative basis up to 25% of the original principal amount of each holder's debenture at a floating conversion price. The floating conversion price is equal to 94% of the average of the 7 lowest daily volume weighted average prices during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date upon which the debenture is converted. On the maturity date of November 6, 2004, the holders are obligated to convert any remaining principal into common stock at a conversion price equal to the average of the closing prices during the 15 trading days immediately prior to the maturity date. We are not required to issue to the debenture holders in excess of 8,422,204 shares below the market price of our common stock in accordance with Nasdaq rules, or such greater number of shares permitted under Nasdaq Rule 4350(i). In such event, the debenture holders may elect to require us to convert the debentures at the lowest possible conversion price that complies with Nasdaq rules or to redeem the portion of the debentures which were not able to be converted by payment of 105% of the outstanding principal, plus accrued interest, if the redemption were by May 6, 2002, or of 110% of the outstanding principal, plus accrued interest, if the redemption were after May 6, 2002, provided that we are not obligated to redeem more than 25% of the original principal amount of the debentures every three months on a cumulative basis beginning on February 6, 2002. 20 A debenture holder may not convert its debenture or receive shares of our common stock as payment of interest to the extent that, at the time of the conversion or payment, the sum of (i) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the holder plus (ii) the number of shares to be issued upon conversion and payment would exceed 4.999% of the number of shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding, including other shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the holder's debenture. The holder may terminate this restriction upon 61 days' prior notice to us. The Warrants. The warrants are exercisable for a total of 367,590 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.4275 payable in cash. The warrants are exercisable until November 6, 2004. The number of shares issuable upon exercise and the exercise price are subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, a stock split or combination or a reclassification of our common stock, but otherwise do not have exercise price adjustments. The sale of the debentures and the warrants to the investors was exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, under Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, because of the nature of the offerees and investors and the manner in which the offering was conducted. Further information regarding the debentures, the warrants and this transaction is contained in our Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 28, 2001. ITEM 6.

21 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The information set forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" below includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is subject to the safe harbor created by that Section. Factors that realistically could cause results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements are set forth in this section and earlier in this report under "Business -- Factors That Could Affect Future Results" beginning on page 9. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto. OVERVIEW We design, develop, market and service high-performance computer systems, commonly known as supercomputers. We presently market four computer systems, the Cray SV1ex, Cray T3E, Cray SX-6 and cluster solutions, and provide maintenance services to the world-wide installed base of these and earlier models of Cray computers. We are developing two new computer systems, the MTA-2, based on our multithreaded architecture system, and the SV2, which will combine elements of the SV1 and T3E computers. We recently have commenced offering professional services to leverage our reputation and skills for services and industry technical knowledge. In 2000 and for part of 2001 we largely were involved in the separation of the Cray Research operations from those of SGI and integrating them with our own. This process included establishing separate network, communications and other infrastructure services, reconstituting the marketing and sales operations, setting up subsidiary operations for international sales and services, implementing new operational policies and procedures, and identifying and filling openings in management, administration and other areas. This process largely has been completed. We have experienced net losses in each year of operations. We incurred net losses of approximately $35.2 million in 2001, $25.4 million in 2000 and $34.5 million in 1999. We recognize revenue from sales of our computer systems upon acceptance by the customer, although in limited circumstances, depending on sales contract terms, revenue may be recognized when title passes upon shipment or may be delayed until funding is certain. We recognize service revenue from the maintenance of our computer systems ratably over the term of each maintenance agreement. Funds from maintenance contracts that are paid in advance are recorded as deferred revenue. Factors that should be considered in evaluating our business, operations and prospects and that may affect our future results and financial condition are set forth above, beginning on page 9. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES This discussion as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this Form 10-K are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingencies. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates used, including those related to estimates of warranty liabilities, valuation of inventory at the lower of cost or market and impairment of goodwill. We base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources as well as identifying and assessing our accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements: 22 T90 Reserve. We acquired service contracts in the Cray Research acquisition for T90 vector computers. Some of the components in the T90 vector computers, which were sold prior to the acquisition, have an unusually high failure rate. At the date of the acquisition we recorded a warranty reserve of $47.5 million to reflect our estimate of the amount by which the cost of servicing the T90 vector computers would exceed the revenue generated from servicing them until they were no longer in use by our customers. As we incur costs to service these computers, we reduce the amount of the warranty reserve. As of December 31, 2001, our total warranty reserve balance is $15.0 million, of which $14.5 million relates to the T90 vector computers. We continually monitor the reasonableness of our estimate of the warranty reserve. This involves analysis of our assumptions with regard to the length of time the T90 vector computers will be in use by our customers, the failure rate of modules in the computers considering actual historical failure rates, and personnel and resources, including service spares, that will be required to correct failures that occur in the future. To date, our estimates of the costs incurred to service the T90 vector computers have approximated the actual costs we have incurred. We believe that the warranty reserve balance at December 31, 2001, is a reasonable estimate of the extent to which our costs to service these computers will exceed the revenue generated from existing service contracts. It is possible, however, that our estimates may prove to be inaccurate and that our actual costs may differ materially from our estimates. Inventories. We record our inventories at the lower of cost or market. We regularly evaluate the technological usefulness of various inventory components. When it is discovered that previously inventoried components do not function as intended in a fully operational system, the costs associated with these components are expensed. Due to rapid changes in technology and the increasing demands of our customers, we are continually developing new products. As a result, it is possible that older products we have developed may become obsolete or we may require to sell these products below cost. When we determine that we will likely not recover the cost of inventory items through future sales, we write down the related inventory to our estimate of its market value. As of December 31, 2001, we had an allowance for excess and obsolete inventory of $8.5 million applied against our gross inventory balance of $27.4 million. Because the products we sell have high average sales prices and because a high number of our prospective customers receive funding from U.S. or foreign governments, it is difficult to estimate future sales of our products and the timing of such sales. It also is difficult to determine whether the cost of our inventories will ultimately be recovered through future sales. While we believe our inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and that our estimates and assumptions to determine any adjustments to the cost of our inventories are reasonable, our estimates may prove to be inaccurate. We may have future sales of inventory previously written down to zero. We may also have additional expense to write down inventory to its estimated market value. Adjustments to these estimates in the future may materially impact our operating results. Goodwill. Approximately 18% of our assets as of December 31, 2001, consist of goodwill resulting from our acquisition of Silicon Graphics in 2000. As discussed below in the "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" section, we adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, and will no longer amortize goodwill associated with the acquisition, but we will be required to conduct ongoing analyses of the recorded amount of goodwill in comparison to its estimated fair value. These ongoing analyses of whether the fair value of recorded goodwill is impaired will involve a substantial amount of judgment. Future charges related to goodwill could be material depending on future developments and changes in technology and our business. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 With the acquisition of the Cray Research business unit on April 1, 2000, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results that include periods prior to the acquisition are not indicative of results for any subsequent period. Revenue. We had revenue from product sales of $51.1 million for 2001, up from $46.6 million in 2000 and $1.8 million in 1999. Product revenue represented 38% of total revenue for 2001 and consisted primarily of $19.1 million for our SV1 and SV1ex product line and $27.3 million for our T3E product line, including $2.2 million from the sale of inventory previously written down to a zero cost basis. Product sales revenue were less than anticipated due to delays in completing the SV1ex enhancements, with the first complete SV1ex product shipment not occurring until late November 2001. Product sales for Cray Research products declined during each of the three years prior to our acquisition of the Cray Research business unit, primarily because SGI had stopped development funding of new Cray Research products. We expect that our product sales revenue will increase as we introduce 23 upgrades to the current product line and our new products currently under development. 1999 revenue included $1.7 million from the upgrade of the MTA system at the San Diego Supercomputer Center to eight processors. We had service revenue of $82.5 million in 2001, up from $71.5 million for 2000 and $320,000 in 1999. Services are provided under separate maintenance contracts with our customers. These contracts generally provide for maintenance services for one year, although some are for multi-year periods. The overall increase in service revenue is due to the acquisition of the Cray product line and related service business in April 2000. Service revenue on an annualized basis has continued to decline over the periods prior to our acquisition of the Cray Research business unit and we expect this decline to continue over the next year or so as older systems are withdrawn from service and then to stabilize as our new systems are placed in service. Service revenue represented 62% and 61% of total revenues for 2001 and 2000, respectively. Operating Expenses. Cost of product revenue was $30.7 million for 2001, $32.5 million for 2000 and $15.2 million for 1999. Cost of product revenue represented 60%, 70%, and 845% of product revenue for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The high cost of product revenue in 2000 is due to the age of the SV1 and T3E product lines and inventory adjustments for SV1 and MTA gallium arsenide parts. Cost of product revenue was high in 1999 as a percentage of the revenue due to the inclusion of manufacturing costs and inventory adjustments relating to the MTA product line and favorable pricing terms provided to our first MTA customer. Cost of service revenue was $41.2 million for 2001, $34.1 million for 2000 and $273,000 for 1999. Cost of service revenue represented 50%, 48%, and 85% of service revenue for 2001, 2000 and 1999. Research and development expenses reflect our costs associated with the enhancements to the Cray SV1 and T3E systems and the development of the MTA and SV2 systems, including related software development. These costs also include personnel expenses, allocated overhead and operating expenses, software, materials and engineering expenses, including payments to third parties. These costs are offset in part by governmental development funding. Net research and development expenses were $53.9 million in 2001, $48.4 million for 2000 and $15.2 million for 1999 with governmental developmental funding being $12.6 million in 2001, $9.3 million in 2000 and $72,000 in 1999. Research and development expenses represented 40%, 41%, and 720% of revenue for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. We expect that research and development expenses will decrease in 2002, due to reductions in third-party non-recurring engineering expenses as we complete development of the MTA-2 and SV-2 systems, reductions in personnel and increased governmental funding. Over time, with receipt of increased revenue from products currently under development, sales of the Cray SX-6 series of computers and cluster systems and professional services engagements, we expect research and development expenses to decrease as a percentage of overall revenue. Marketing and sales expense were $20.0 million in 2001, $14.4 million in 2000 and $2.5 million in 1999. The increase in these expenses from 1999 to 2001 was due to the acquisition of the Cray Research business unit, which required us to re-establish the Cray sales and customer support staff and increase expenditures in connection with sales and marketing, benchmarks and development of third party applications software. We expect marketing and sales expense in 2002 to be relatively even with 2001 expense levels. General and administrative expenses were $9.2 million for 2001, $7.0 million in 2000 and $3.1 million in 1999. The increase in these expenses from 1999 to 2001 was due to the acquisition of the Cray Research operations, which required us to add managerial and administrative staff and increases in legal, accounting and consulting expenses in connection with establishing foreign operations and implementing new accounting systems. General and administrative expenses should stabilize or decrease from 2001 levels and decline as a percentage of revenue. We incurred a restructuring charge of $3.8 million in 2001. These charges are primarily for severance expenses related to the termination of approximately 102 employees in the third and fourth quarters of 2001. As of December 31, 2001 we had paid $2.1 million of this charge and the remaining $1.7 million is included in accrued payroll and related expenses. We incurred amortization expense of $7.0 million in 2001 and $5.2 million in 2000, primarily related to the goodwill from the acquisition of the Cray Research business unit. The Company will apply SFAS No. 142 beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 is expected to reduce amortization expense in 2002. See "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" below. 24 Interest Income (Expense). Interest income was $224,000 for 2001, $690,000 for 2000, and $537,000 for 1999. The higher amounts in 2000 and 1999 reflect the Company's increased cash position due to the sales of equity securities in the first quarter of 2000, and in 1999. Interest expense was $2.0 million for 2001, $2.4 million for 2000 and $815,000 for 1999. The increase in 2001 and 2000 over 1999 was largely due to $1.0 million of non-cash interest associated with the value of the conversion feature of certain investor promissory notes and $1.0 million of interest paid on our term loan, line of credit, capital lease and debt obligations in 2001. In 2000, we recognized imputed interest expense of $1.4 million on the non-interest bearing note issued to SGI, a non-cash interest expense of approximately $336,000 associated with the value of the conversion feature of certain investor promissory notes, a non-cash expense of $200,000 for the value of warrants issued in conjunction with investor promissory notes and $92,000 of interest paid on a line of credit. Taxes. We made a provision of $994,000 and $831,000 for international income taxes in 2001 and 2000, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, we had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $137.1 million which expire in years 2003 through 2020, if not utilized. Net Loss. Our net loss in 2001 of $35.2 million was greater than our net loss in 2000 of $25.4 million and $34.5 million in 1999. The 2001 net loss largely was due to the delays in completing the SV1ex enhancements until late November 2001. The 2000 net loss includes a loss of $8.0 million during the first quarter, prior to our acquisition of the Cray Research business operations. We continue to incur substantial research and development expenses, particularly as a percentage of revenue. To become profitable we need to increase our product revenue from sales of our enhancements of our current products and our products under development and control expenses to match conservative revenue projections. See "Business -- Product and Service Offerings and the High Performance Computer Market" and "Business -- Research and Development." LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents totaled $12.4 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2000. Restricted cash balances, which serve as collateral for capital equipment loans and leases, totaled $353,000 at December 31, 2001, and $761,000 at December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2001, we had a working capital deficit of $5.7 million compared to a $25.9 million deficit at the end of 2000. Net cash used by operating activities was $26.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to net cash provided of $5.1 million in 2000. For 2001, net operating cash flows were primarily attributed to our net loss offset by depreciation and amortization, along with decreases in accounts payable and warranty reserves. The increase in net cash used in operating activities in 2001 over 2000 was primarily attributed to the acquisition of the Cray Research business unit in April of 2000. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $57.4 million for 2000. In 2001, the net cash used in investing activities was primarily for electronic test equipment and computer hardware purchases. In 2000, we paid a total of $51.6 million to acquire the Cray Research business unit. We also spent $5.8 million on fixed assets, primarily consisting of computer hardware and software and electronic test equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities was $44.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $47.0 million for 2000. In 2001, we raised $24.9 million through the sale of preferred stock to NEC, and in November we issued $9.3 million in convertible subordinated notes. Also in 2001, we obtained a three-year term loan of $7.5 million. In early 2000, we raised $25.2 million in a private placement of 5.2 million shares of common stock and $8.9 million from the exercise of common stock warrants. We also raised $12.5 million in the fall of 2000 through the issuance of promissory notes to two investors, retiring $4.2 million of these notes by year-end through conversion into common stock and the remainder in the first four months of 2001 by additional conversions. Over the next twelve months our significant cash requirements will relate to operational expenses, primarily for personnel, inventory and third-party engineering services, and acquisition of capital goods. These expenses include our commitments to acquire components and manufacturing and engineering services. We expect that anticipated product sales, professional services, maintenance services and government funding of research and development 25 expenses over the next twelve months, coupled with limitations on operating expenses and capital expenditures, will generate overall positive cash flow. At any particular time, given the high average selling price of our products, our cash position is affected by the timing of payment of product sales, receipt of prepaid maintenance revenue and receipt of government funding for research and development activities. In addition, any delays in either of the development of the MTA-2 or the SV2 system may require additional capital earlier than planned. While we believe our cash resources will be adequate for the next twelve months, we may need to raise additional equity and/or debt capital if we experience lower than anticipated product sales due to delays in product availability and general economic conditions or if we do not receive sufficient governmental support for our products and research activities. In addition we may raise additional funds to enhance our working capital position. Financings may not be available to us when needed or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms and may be dilutive to our shareholders.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operations, but instead would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its fair value. We will apply SFAS No. 142 beginning in the first quarter of 2002. We will test goodwill for impairment using the two-step approach prescribed in SFAS No. 142. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of the impairment, if any. We expect to perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill in the first six months of 2002. Any impairment charge resulting from these transitional impairment tests will be reflected as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first six months of 2002. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. This statement establishes accounting standards for recognition and measurement of a liability for an asset retirement obligation and the associated asset retirement cost. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 143 to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. It retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 26 No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. We have not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS No. 144 on our financial position or results of operations ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Substantially all of our cash equivalents and marketable securities are held in money market funds or commercial paper of less than 90 days that is held to maturity. Accordingly, we believe that the market risk arising from our holdings of these financial instruments is minimal. We sell our products primarily in North America, but with significant sales in Asia and Europe. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Our products are generally priced in U.S. dollars, and a strengthening of the dollar could make our products less competitive in foreign markets. While we commonly sell products with payments in U.S. dollars, our product sales contracts occasionally call for payment in foreign currencies and to the extent we do so, we are subject to foreign currency exchange risks. We believe that a 10% change in foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on the financial statements. Our foreign maintenance contracts are paid in local currencies and provide a natural hedge against local expenses. To the extent that we wish to repatriate any of these funds to the United States, however, we are subject to foreign exchange risks. We do not hold any derivative instruments and have not engaged in hedging transactions. At December 31, 2001, we had fixed rate convertible debentures of $9.3 million and a variable rate term loan $6.1 million that are both due in 2004. Our minimum payment commitment on the term loan is fixed during the term. Interest payments on our term loan fluctuate with movements of interest rates, increasing in periods of rising rates of interest and declining in periods of decreasing rates of interest. ITEM 8.

27 On April 1, 2000, we acquired the operating assets of the Cray Research business unit from Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI"), and changed our corporate name from Tera Computer Company to Cray Inc. With that acquisition we changed from a development stage company with 125 employees (almost all located in Seattle, Washington), limited revenue and one product under development, to a company with nearly 900 employees located in over 20 countries, ongoing sales of supercomputer systems with several products in development, major manufacturing operations, an established service organization and substantial inventory. For these reasons, period to period comparisons that include periods prior to April 1, 2000, are not indicative of future results. Discussions that relate to periods prior to April 1, 2000, refer to our operations as Tera Computer Company and discussions that relate to periods after April 1, 2000, refer to our combined operations as Cray Inc. Revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was high due to the sale of a $17.1 million T3E system while revenue decreased in the subsequent two quarters of 2000 due to lower than planned product sales. Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 increased over the quarter ended September 30, 2000 primarily due to an impairment loss of $3.3 million on MTA test equipment, higher prototype expenses for the MTA2 and SV2, as well as higher sales expenses from our foreign subsidiaries. Revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, was the highest for the year due to the sale of a $21 million T3E system to the U.S. Department of Defense while revenue declined in the following three quarters due to lower than planned product sales, primarily due to the delay in completing the SV1ex systems until late November 2001, the cancellation of the SuperCluster project and delays in completing the development of the MTA-2 system. Second quarter 2001 revenue were lowest during the year due to the product delays, a $3.0 million sale that slipped into the first week of the third quarter, and lost sales opportunities. In the 2001 second quarter, research and development expenses were high due to higher prototype costs relating to the SV2 and MTA programs and general and administrative expenses were high due to higher legal and audit fees. In the 2001 fourth quarter we had $4.8 million of one-time reserves and charges. The restructuring charge in 2001 related to severance expenses in connection with the termination of an aggregate of 102 employees in the third and fourth quarters of 2001. The Company's future operating results may be subject to quarterly fluctuations as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of deliveries of the Company's products. See "Business -- Factors That Could Affect Future Results." Quarter-to-quarter comparisons should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance. ITEM 9.

See accompanying notes F-4 CRAY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ TABLES IN THOUSANDS) NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Cray Inc. ("Cray" or the "Company") (formerly "Tera Computer Company") designs, develops, markets and services high-performance computer systems. The Company presently markets four computer models: the Cray SV1ex system, the Cray T3E system, cluster systems using Dell Computer Corporation PowerEdge servers, and on an exclusive basis in North America the NEC SX-6 system, rebranded under the Cray brand as the Cray SX-6 system. We also provide maintenance services to the installed base of these and earlier models of Cray computers. The Company is developing two new systems, the MTA-2, based on multithreaded architecture, and the SV2, which combines elements of the SV1 and T3E computers. The Company has incurred net losses of $35.2 million, $25.4 million and $34.5 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Additionally, in 2001 the Company used $25.8 million in cash from operating activities. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon several factors, including its ability to increase revenue levels and reduce costs of operations to generate positive cash flows. The Company has implemented, and plans to continue to implement, certain initiatives to increase revenues, reduce costs and better position the Company to compete under current market conditions. The Company believes cash resources will be adequate to sustain operations for the next twelve months. To the extent future revenues are not sufficient to allow the Company to generate positive cash flows, the Company plans to pursue additional initiatives to further reduce costs and/or seek additional financing. The Company has received $5.7 million in equity financing subsequent to December 31, 2001 and has an available $7.5 million revolving line of credit. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to achieve future profitable operations or generate sufficient cash from operations, or obtain additional funding sources in the event its current financial resources are not sufficient. NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS For business combinations that have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, the Company includes the results of operations of the acquired business from the date of acquisition. Net assets of the companies acquired are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible net assets acquired is included in goodwill in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. USE OF ESTIMATES Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect F-5 CRAY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) ($ TABLES IN THOUSANDS) the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid financial instruments that are readily convertible to cash and have original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable is primarily composed of amounts due from government funded research and development projects and amounts contractually due from product and service revenue. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2001 was $936,000. RESTRICTED CASH Restricted cash consists of cash equivalents that serve as collateral pursuant to lease and indebtedness agreements entered into for the acquisition of capital equipment. GOODWILL Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the Cray Research business unit acquired on April 1, 2000 over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over five years. The Company periodically analyzes the carrying value of its goodwill to determine that the recorded amount is reasonable and is not impaired. Management considers whether specific events have occurred, such as a loss of a major customer or abandonment or loss of a product line, in determining whether goodwill is impaired at each balance sheet date. The determination of whether an impairment exists is based on any excess of the carrying value over the expected future cash flows, as estimated through undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges. Any resulting necessary impairment charge would be measured based on the difference between the carrying value of recorded goodwill and its fair value, as estimated through expected future discounted cash flows, discounted at a rate of return for an alternate similar investment. Based on its most recent analysis, Cray believes that no impairment exists at December 31, 2001. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS At December 31, 2001, the Company had the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and term loan. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, and long-term debt approximates their fair value based on the liquidity of these financial instruments or based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company. REVENUE RECOGNITION Cray generally recognizes revenue from product sales upon customer acceptance; however, depending on sales contract terms, revenue may be recognized upon shipment, or delayed until funding is definite. Service revenues from the maintenance of computers are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract. Funds from maintenance contracts that are paid in advance are recorded as deferred revenue. F-6 CRAY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) ($ TABLES IN THOUSANDS) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved, which have been insignificant, are included in the consolidated statements of operations. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development costs include costs incurred in the development and production of the Company's hardware and software, costs incurred to enhance and support existing software features and expenses related to future implementations of systems. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requires the capitalization of certain software product costs after technological feasibility of the software is established. Due to the relatively short period between the technological feasibility of a product and completion of product development, and the insignificance of related costs incurred during this period, no software development costs have been capitalized. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company regularly evaluates the technological usefulness of various inventory components and the expected use of the inventory. When it is discovered that previously inventoried components do not function as intended in a fully operational system, or quantities on hand are in excess of requirements, the costs associated with these components are expensed. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to seven years. Equipment under capital leases is depreciated over the lease term. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease. SERVICE SPARES Service spares are primarily utilized to fulfill the Company's service obligations related to the T90 vector supercomputers. The cost of service spares is allocated as the related assets are used in service. The warranty reserve includes these service spares as part of the cost of fulfilling the warranty obligation. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Pursuant to SFAS No. 121, management periodically evaluates long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment and intangible assets, to determine whether there has been any impairment of these assets and the appropriateness of their remaining useful lives. The Company evaluates F-7 CRAY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) ($ TABLES IN THOUSANDS) impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the Company's assets might not be recoverable. Accordingly, during 2000, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $3.3 million on certain obsolete fixed assets included in cost of product sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The fixed assets consisted primarily of test equipment used to support the gallium arsenide Cray MTA-1 product line. As the Company transitioned from gallium arsenide technology to CMOS (complementary metal-oxide silicon) technology, the gallium arsenide equipment had no further value to the Company and was written off completely. Fair value is zero as there is no future use or salvage value for this equipment. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, as necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current-year presentation. NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Net loss per share has been computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common stock equivalent shares of 234,000 related to stock options, warrants and shares subject to repurchase are excluded from the calculation as their effect is antidilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are equivalent. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has organized and managed its operations in a single operating segment providing global sales and service of high performance computers. See note 14 - Segment Information. WARRANTY RESERVE Certain components in the T90 vector computers sold by Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI") prior to the Company's acquisition of the Cray Research operations have an unusually high failure rate. The cost of servicing the T90 computers exceeds the related service revenues. The Company is continuing to take action that commenced prior to the acquisition to address this problem, and has recorded a reserve to provide for anticipated future losses on the T90 maintenance service contracts. Included in warranty reserves at December 31, 2001, is an accrual of $14.5 million for estimated losses on service contracts covering the T90 product line. The reserve is calculated as the excess of estimated service costs over estimated service revenues for the term of the related contracts. Estimated service costs include cost of service spares, direct costs of service, indirect labor, and overhead allocations based on management estimates of time dedicated to service T-90 contracts.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles with indefinite useful lives will not be amortized into results of operations, but instead would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its fair value. The Company will apply SFAS No. 142 beginning in the first quarter of 2002. The Company will test goodwill for impairment using the two-step approach prescribed in SFAS No. 142. The first step is a test for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of the impairment, if any. The Company expects to perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill as of January 1, 2002 in the first six months of 2002. Any impairment charge resulting from these transitional impairment tests will be reflected as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first six months of 2002. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. This statement establishes accounting standards for recognition and measurement of a liability for an asset retirement obligation and the associated asset retirement cost. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 143 to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the F-9 CRAY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) ($ TABLES IN THOUSANDS) framework established in SFAS No. 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. It retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS No. 144 on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 2001, the Company issued full recourse notes payable for $326,000 related to the exercise of employee stock options. These notes bear interest at a rate of 2.05% per year, had an original maturity of twelve months from date of issuance and were secured by a stock pledge agreement. The maturity date has subsequently been amended several times and notes are now due December 31, 2004. Given the uncertainty related to collectibility, the notes have been fully reserved in 2001. The options related to the full recourse notes are variable in nature given the renewal of the note due date and non-market interest rate. There has been no compensation expense recorded as of December 31, 2001 or 2000 as the options' exercise price is equal to or greater than the fair value of the Company's stock. The Company also had an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $138,000 from the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The note was due and paid in full on February 6, 2001, including accrued interest at a rate of 9.5%. The Company recorded interest income of $3,278 for the year ended December 31, 2001, on the note. The Company paid fees related to private debt and equity placements to a company whose Chairman, CEO, and principal shareholder was one of the Company's directors. Amounts incurred for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 for private placement services totaled $1.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, with $626,000 payable at December 31, 2001. NOTE 8 LEASE AGREEMENTS The Company leases certain property and equipment under capital leases pursuant to master equipment lease agreements and has non-cancelable operating leases for facilities. Under the master equipment lease agreements, the Company has acquired computer and other equipment in the amount of $2,114,000 and $2,620,000, for which $1,550,000 and $1,837,000 of accumulated depreciation was recorded as of December 31, 2000, and 2001, respectively. Rent expense under leases accounted for as operating leases for 1999, 2000 and 2001 was $1,929,000, $2,520,000 and $3,322,000, respectively. F-13 CRAY INC.
